All this thread really amounts to is more proof that Arcane Missiles graphic needs to be updated.

It is, literally, the oldest spell graphic in the game right now (for those who remember, it was one of the first set of spells that came out in the first beta build of vanilla WoW, along with Fireball and Frostbolt, both of which have been updated since).

I was thinking something along the lines of the shaman's Elemental blast spell, but naturally, with the pinkis.. i mean purple-y, Arcane theme.

The current AMs, while I do love them so, just need the face-lift at this point.

It's purple because purple isn't an organic color. It isn't something you see in nature that frequently. Other elements have a color associated with them. Nature = green. Water = blue, fire = red, etc etc. Arcane isn't natural so it is only "natural" (lol pun) that purple be used since it is a sorta otherwordly color!

Malygos didn't do shit. He was granted power over magic by the Titans. The Elves discovered Arcane magic on their own at the Well of Eternity. They then taught it to everyone else who wasn't a dragon. The Arcane magic the PCs use in the game was originally developed by the Elves.
